Not sure how I should feel about if we'll get him or not. We're in the top 2, but VaTech got the most recent visit.

This could be a toss-up.

I think he's a player with decent upside that seems to have come on late in terms of interested drawn this summer.

IMO this will be like the Seagears situation, we're clearly a better overall basketball program, but playing time and distance could be the determining factor. We'll get to really see what his priorities are based on his decision. If he is wanting to get on a competitive basketball team and compete for playing time, and he's not worried about distance then we are the clear choice. If he's looking to go somewhere where he can compete for a starting spot right away and be close to home then he'll choice VA Tech. Nothing wrong with either choice just depends on what he's looking for.

Also, this is just a hunch but I assume if we don't get Hudson we'll go full force on getting Carlos Morris. We're in his top 3 and he hasn't setup a visit yet, I'm assuming the reason for this is because we're waiting to see what happens with Hudson.

Sounds like your not feeling to good about our chances with us being so far away. I kinda agree, it's going to be hard for him to turn down playing in his home state, I know it would be for me if I was in the situation.

Couple of national guys and an Ohio guy. That looks good for us, but RD's tone was borderline pessimistic. We'll see.

I feel a little better now that Brain Flinn has projected in our favor. I usually like the odds when him or Jerry Meyer make a pick. The other guys pick records aren't so great and I don't know much about them. But I do know, Otis Kirk the Arkansas guy has said in the past he really doesn't make picks unless he feels somewhat comfortable with them, can't remember his exact words but it was something along those lines.

Looks like Corey Evans changed his mind, he has now picked VT. Also, another analyst has made a pick and picked VT as well. So now it's 4 Analyst for Arkansas and 2 for VT, however 2 of the Arkansas picks are older, and was right after his visit here, not sure if they still stand behind those picks or not.

Also poked on a VT fourm to see what their feelings are, and most feel he is a for sure get for them. Seems to be good friends with Raymon Minor, who is a football recruit that most believe will be attending VT. They both visited on the same weekend.

Sounds about right. Lines up with the vibe RD and Danny West are giving off.

On to the next one if we don't get Hudson.

Yep, I'm assuming we'll hear about a Carlos Morris visit after this. Assuming, he hasn't already gone gun ho for the Gophers. I also wonder who else the staff has had as a backup plan, I'm assuming if we don't get Hudson we'll start seeing a few more names surface.

Announcement is suppose to be at 4:00, but not looking good for us at all. In less than 24 hours that crystal ball has went from 100% Arkansas 5 out of 5, to now 57% VT and 43% Arkansas, with 2 analyst changing their picks. I'm assuming with everyone coming out and making/changing picks all of the sudden, some kind of info leaked to them that is in VTs favor.

I've been saying to look out for he and Wade b/c seniors usually play with a newfound intensity. He's still been good on defense and he shot the 3 well but other than that Scott just hasn't found his game here. No excuse for being such a bad free throw shooter.

Michigan fans probably said the same thing about 3 star Trey Burke a few years ago. Hudson has upside and I like that he's 6'5.

Btw, I guess he's going to milk this today for as many followers as possible? It's 430 and nada

When I posted my comment, the very first thing I said was "Nothing at all against Mr. Hudson". I know he is a good player and would be a good player for us if he were to choose to come here. My only point was, because I know how this place can get, that if he chooses to go elsewhere its not a huge loss to us. That's all. Nothing against his ability now or in the future.

Also, yes, it seems that they milk it for all its worth.

Oh I know what you mean, when we miss on recruits ppl immediately start blaming the coach and saying we definitely won't be winners like this, etc etc. I didn't take offense to it at all, I was just saying you never know what you'll get until they make it to campus and start playing. Especially if he adds weight and presumably gets stronger.

He didn't say he was announcing at 4. He is calling both coaches at 4. Doubt it was as simple as "hey coach, I am coming." "Hey coach, I am not coming." Specifically the coach who gets his commitment.

I'm well aware, but the call to the coach that doesn't get his commitment probably lasts 1 minute. And I doubt he's talking to the one that does for 45 minutes. It's a good way to get more followers. I think his have risen over 200 in the last couple hours.

My mistake. I should have joined in on the pessimistic attitude that consumes Hogville. There is always some sort of ulterior motive to everything that happens.

So now by your theory he's been chatting for an hour now. I'm hoping he's asking Coach A about his favorite recipe for fruit salad about right now.

Don't be one of those posters that thinks realism is being negative. Go back and look at all recruits we've gotten who announced on twitter and let me know how many were at least 30 mins late. Happens pretty much every time.

Again, my mistake. Since I don't have some sort of conspiracy I am not being real. I understand that now.

Yeah man, haven't you heard? If they are considering Arkansas and any other school then they aren't choosing the Hogs. Then if they do act pleasantly surprised and yell pig sooie because we got lucky but then he probably won't qualify or the other schools must have backed off because the player has issues. Make sure to reiterate your suspicions the first time the player misses a shot/drops a pass/misses a tackle/turns the ball over by saying I told you so and throwing your adult beverage at the TV.

Again, my mistake. Since I don't have some sort of conspiracy I am not being real. I understand that now.

Why is that having a conspiracy? Do you like overreacting much? That's like saying that musicians come out a bit late for concerts on purpose is simply a conspiracy theory. Relax a little, he's either late on purpose like 95+% of recruits or he's still asking about one of the coaches favorite recipe for fruit salad. One of the two, no one really knows.

Yeah, those are THE ONLY 2 options. Nothing else could possibly be a reason. NOTHING

It's fun to own someone who overreacts. Swine I've enjoyed watching you own ppl like jry on here a time or two. Meanwhile, it's closing in on 530 and according to jry and his infinite wisdom Jalen is simply casually chatting with the coaches.

I hope this means good news for us! The thing is, I don't know where Anderson goes if Hudson pledges to VA Tech. Does he just hold the schollie for 2015 class, hope for a decommit or a transfer?

Yeah man, you really owned me. How will I ever be able to show my face in public again? Keep in mind, I offered a suggestion as well. Never said I was correct, but was offering up other reasons that it could be delayed. Not everything is a conspiracy. Again, you are right. He has delayed it by 1 hour and 40 minutes in order to gain a few extra twitter followers, knowing he will lose half of them as soon as he announces.

I personally would rather hold it until 2015 if he choose Va Tech. Whether Hudson commits or not, I still don't get the trouble we've had recruiting guards under MA? In fact, I'd say this staff has recruited big men really well and guards not at all. It's puzzling?

When he was hired, I worried it would be the other way around. Puzzling indeed.
